AIS - Ship Movements

Newquay

AIS - Automatic Identification System is an aid to navigation to help ships avoid
collisions, as well as assisting the rescue services and port authorities to better
control sea traffic.

The system is based on AIS (Automatic Identification System). As from December 2004,
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires all vessels over 299GT
to carry an AIS transponder on board, which transmits their position, speed and course,
among some other static information, such as vesselís name, dimensions and voyage details.
Smaller vessels can also be fitted with AIS to help them see and be seen.

The transponders send data about the vessel in digital format using VHF radio with
a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, which collects position and movement details.

The map is using AIS data collected by
Marine Traffic from "Sharers" who send the AIS data they receive to the Marine Traffic server
to give an overall view of shipping around the globe.

NoticesVessel positions may be up to one hour old or incomplete. Data is provided
for informational only and is not related by any means to the safety of navigation.

Coverage around Cornwall coast is very limited, do not be alarmed if vessels suddenly vanish
or appear, as they are either leaving or entering an area covered by an AIS receiving
station.

IMPORTANTNever base important decisions or events on data from this private weather station, which
is offered as a general guide to local conditions only and should not be relied upon in lieu
of officially disseminated weather information for the safety and/or protection of person or property.
